An AI image generator turns a written prompt into a new image. MixVio AI Image Generator starts from text—not from a photo you already own. It is not Image to Image, and it is not Image to Video. MixVio routes the job through reviewed text-to-image models, shows credits before you run, and keeps the PNG in your workspace. ### How do I generate AI images from text? Three steps in the generator on this page. 1) Write the prompt: name the subject, setting, lighting, style, and intended use. Generate stays disabled until the prompt is filled. 2) Set format and model: choose ratio and a reviewed text-to-image route. Credits update with the selected model, quality, and resolution. 3) Generate and download: confirm the credit quote, generate a private PNG, inspect the result, then download or generate again. ### Is MixVio AI Image Generator free? An account is required. New accounts receive 40 welcome credits valid for 7 days. AI Image Generator is available on the Free plan when your balance covers the quote. GPT Image 2.5 starts at 2 credits for Low at 1K. Free image delivery is watermarked and capped at 1K; paid plans unlock higher quality and resolution. Failed runs cost no credits. ### How do credits work? Credits are quoted from the selected model, quality, and resolution before you generate. GPT Image 2.5 starts at 2 credits for Low at 1K. The default 2K Medium pass is 3 credits; other models on this page quote separately. Failed or cancelled tasks release the reservation. ### What kinds of prompts work best? Be specific about subject, setting, lighting, style, and use. Example: a cream ceramic bottle on marble, soft rim light, 16:9 product image, no extra props. Vague “make a cool image” prompts leave the model guessing. Add the words that must appear when the image needs readable type. ### Will every label and face match the prompt exactly? No. Inspect identity, labels, logos, and fine typography before delivery. Unrequested details can still shift. This page is prompt-led text-to-image—it does not expose a brush, mask, or LoRA trainer. ### What if I am not satisfied with the result? Adjust the prompt, switch image model, or change ratio and quality, then generate again. Each new run shows its credit quote before submit. Failed runs cost no credits. ### Which models can I use on AI Image Generator? The public tool defaults to GPT Image 2.5 and lets you switch to GPT Image 2, Seedream 5.0 Pro, Seedream 5.0 Lite, Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2, and Nano Banana 2 Lite. Pick by complex briefs, prompt control, typography, or speed. Credits and specs update in this generator when you switch models. Open a published model page when you need a deeper spec sheet. ### What inputs and outputs does this page accept? A text prompt is required. Optional reference images follow the selected model; they guide the image and do not turn this page into Image to Image. Ratio options follow the selected model. MixVio returns a private PNG to your workspace; GPT Image 2.5 returns one image per run, while Seedream routes may return up to four. Inspect the file before you download. ### Can I use AI Image Generator outputs commercially? Paid-plan outputs may be used commercially, subject to the Terms of Service and the current provider terms. You must have rights to every prompt, face, brand, and optional reference. Free-plan outputs are for evaluation and are not for commercial publishing. ### Are prompts and results private? Yes. Prompts, optional references, and outputs remain private workspace assets. Signed URLs, asset IDs, and private prompts are not added to public page URLs or analytics. ### Should I use AI Image Generator or Image to Image? Use AI Image Generator when you start from text and need a new image. Use Image to Image when you already own a photo and want to keep the subject while changing what you ask. After this page, you can restyle the PNG in Image to Image or animate it in Image to Video.

Use Image to Video when that image should become a short video with camera motion. This page does not generate video. When the image is already right, Image Upscaler sharpens it for social, print, or listings. [Open Image to Video →](https://mixvio.ai/tools/image-to-video)
